LGW PE - Seat Advice

I've just booked PE flights for next year through flying club and have selected seats in the bubble 79 A&C which are the last seats before the stairs downstairs. Does anyone know if these seats recline? I'd hate to have chosen these seats and not be able to recline.

Thanks

You are ok, the recline isn't massive and there is enough room behind for full movement of the seat.If I cannot get an exit row I always go for these at the back.Have a good trip.

I choose these seats every time or the equivalent of 74AC on the LHR 744's. There are a number of reasons why - you can recline the chair with no-one behind you complaining, you have a small extra table next to 79C which is handy for drinks etc, you are near but not too near the loo, you are usually first off the plane as once at the bottom of the stairs you are at the exit door and you can usually leave along with the UC passengers.:D

And yes, there is absolutely no issue with the recline[y] In fact last time I go so comfy on the way back I slept for at least 5 hours!!!

Great Choice!!

Have to agree these are always my first choice of seats in PE for all the reasons stated - especially the little table at the side [y]

Best bet is to do what most of us do and just keep checking the "manage your booking " section on the VS web site. And then use OLCI the day before as it gives you a better chance if keeping the seats. As has been mentioned before neither of these is a guarantee but its the bets you can do.[y]
